Situated on the north wall just outside the stingray city cut, the mooring sits in 55 feet of clear blue water. Schools of tarpon frequent the area shining in the filtered sunlight and larger pelagic life such as eagle rays and turtles swim off in the blue. Sting rays sleep in the sand under the mooring so keep an eye out for them shaking off and gliding away.

Tarpon Alley West

Not what it used to be

This site used to be full of tarpon. Also, there was a Hammerhead you could see there often. It's just OK now, no more Tarpon and although you do see sharks sometimes, the reef is covered in silt from the North Sound. There are better sites close like princess Pennys Pinnacle or Indago Drop Off

Loads of Tarpon

I'm told that the tarpon are no longer here. If that's true it's a real shame. I dived this site back in 2006 and it was packed with tarpon. I hope someone here can confirm this because I probably don't want to dive this site without these beautiful creatures. Luckily I have photo's of the dive.
